The Unknown Hipster.

http://unknownhipster.com/

Although this blogger prefers to shroud himself in mystery, and one can only guess if his exploits are fact or fiction (or a little bit of both..) it has been widely rumoured that the identity of this artist is none other than illustrator Jean-Philippe Delhomme.

Why should you care? Well, he's a world-famous fashion illustrator and artist who has contributed to Vogue Paris, Vogue Nippon, French Glamour, as well as having his works exhibited all over.

If this is not enough for you, his blog entries are usually kind of self-deprecating and kind of hilarious, accompanied with his illustrations.

Also, he mentions and illustrates a situation in his last blog entry where Marc Jacobs apparently kicks him into a canal... which is addressed (apparently) by Marc himself in the comments:

Marc here. I resent the implication that I kicked you into the canal when you know quite well that you fell in. Even when covered in canal slime one could infer from your odor that your lack of equilibrium was due to one too many grappas before your clumsy debarkation from the loony boat you sailed in on.Please note: I wouldn’t have even noticed this deviation from reality if you hadn’t harassed my assistant into visiting your website…

Also in another entry, he illustrates a man and describes him as a hipster with oversized glasses, which was addressed (also apparently) by the gentleman himself by saying that his glasses are not that big, and that the image should be changed or his lawyers will be in touch.

PURE GOLD, KIDS.

He hasn't updated in awhile, but here's to hoping there's more to come.
